Kaia Tait is a UK-based textile designer and pattern maker working under the Scrappily Ever After brand. A recent graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee, her practice combines colourful repeat pattern design with sustainable textile making - using scrap and reclaimed fabrics to create joyful, handcrafted work. Her graduate collection "Naive Joy" reflects a core philosophy of reconnecting adults with childhood creativity.

Joyful, saturated colour with a hand-crafted, illustrative quality. The portfolio features bold repeat patterns with a free-spirited, naive character - high-energy compositions that resist polished uniformity. The aesthetic draws directly on childhood imagination and a personal rejection of conformity.

Painting, screen printing, and sewing. Reclaimed and scrap fabric is integral to her making practice - sustainability embedded in the process rather than applied as an afterthought. Repeat construction skills developed through formal textile design training at Duncan of Jordanstone.
